Is caused by the body not metabolizing uric acid, and is a form of arthritis. Anyone suffering should avoid aspirin, as it causes retention of uric acid.
Remember this from the home page "the 6 cherry remedy for gout"? Well, eating 8 oz of fresh or tinned cherries a day can help reduce uric acid levels in the blood. Drinking plenty of fluids, up to 8 glasses of water per day, and eating plenty of fresh fruit and green leafy veg will also aid the excretion of uric acid. Omega-3 fatty acids from flaxseed oil, for example, will give some relief for swollen painful joints and doctor's recommend avoiding high purine foods such as: poultry, fish and pulses.
Alternative medicine suggests the use of leeks, cat's claw, devil's claw, nettle, bromelain and celery for their anti-inflammatory properties.
